Story
Society believes the worst of Justin Alastair, the notorious Duke of Avon. When he encounters a young boy, Léon, who is running from his abusive brother, Avon employs the boy as his page, parading him around parties and other society events in full view of his bitter rival, the Comte de Saint-Vire. But the truth is soon uncovered: Léon is a girl named Léonie and is actually the legitimate child of the Comte and his wife. While Avon is intent on his plan to reveal the Comte’s duplicity and ruin him, he is charmed by Léonie’s kindness, falls in love, and becomes a changed man.

Narration could be better
One of my very favourite Heyer novels with her trademark wit and humour. Alas, the narrator would be better suited to reading chick lit than a regency romance. Do agree with an earlier reviewer that Selena and Rotherham, both come off as rather unsympathetic characters in the narration, unlike in the book. Will be returning this recording.

On my shortlist of Georgette Heyer favourites
I have read this novel many times over, and enjoy the characters,
particularly Mrs Floor, who is a feisty and delightfully non aristocratic grandmother. She is a wonderful foil to all The other high born characters and almost steals The show.
The title describes the plot exactly and this story is quite a Recency romp.
The narration does the book justice and is enjoyable to listen to.

Narration was reading not narrating
Unfortunately the narrator sounded as if she was reading rather than narrating a story, no empathy with the words, at times she screeched and i had to remove the ear phones. I have read this book, and all the romances, many times and enjoy many of the audio versions, but not this one, I will not be listening to it again.

Penguin short-changes Heyer again
Narrator unsuitable in some ways but mainly due to lack of guidance.. Production team has taken no care to ensure correct pronunciation of essential vocabulary. These light Regency tales of Heyer's depend on language, and manners for their entertainment value. An accurate and well-produced recording might have made all the difference.

Not that impressed
I found it tricky to differentiate between the characters. Particularly the hero and heroine. It was an interesting choice not to soften the heroine's tone. She came off as spiky and uncaring... which is not counter to the text. But it could have been presented differently and it meant both hero and heroine were very unsympathetic.

Excellent romantic tale satisfyingly long
At first I was unsure of this narration but I advise listeners to stick with it as I was very pleased by the end. I am amazed that Heyer could think up so many plots and often funny characters to continue to charm the reader. This is up with the best.

Fiesty tangle
Agree with other reviewers. Rotherham's voice was overly harsh & his humor was completely missing.
A shame really, as the other characters were all convincing .

A Tangle Indeed
The unexpected death of The Earl of Spenborough leaves his widow and only daughter in very changed circumstances but each eventually manages to find happiness again after a series of misapprehensions. Some very definite characters provide us with amusement and pathos. Well read and entertaining.

Complex and fun
I never muddle up Georgette Heyer’s characters or wonder who someone is she writes each brilliantly. It’s magic. I wish the stories never ended. I become immersed in each world she conjures up.

I love Georgette Heyer but the reader was terrible
I was so disappointed with this audio. I love Georgette Heyer, but the reader really spoilt the book. she seemed to have no understating of GHs lovely light sense of humour. I didn't like her characterisations, which were overly melodramatic and harsh. She also read way too fast.
